Goats! In the farmyard!

Knowingly using a piece of software that *BY DESIGN* fabricates text is not "hallucination" - it is fraud. I'd be prosecuted if I sat down and invented references for submissions in a court case. I'd lose my job as an academic if I did the same for a paper. Someone explain why automating fraud has somehow made it completely fine and consequence-free?

The very tiny remaining few of us who still give a crap about "not lying" need to fight to bring back real consequences for fraud, fabrication

I keep seeing trailers where John Lithgow promotes the new Harry Potter series, which is driving me apeshit because John Lithgow really broke barriers decades ago playing a trans woman in "The World According to Garp" and it seems like such a fucking betrayal for a man I used to think was a nice guy. Can he really be this ignorant? Aaargh.
